We have these pvc lifter things on our pins to lift with your putter and the ball comes out of the hole. It goes around the pin, so really makes the pin 2.5-3x as wide. And any putt with half decent speed not hitting dead center of the pin will bounce off it.
So I was on the 9th hole of my home course in Birch Hills, pin was at 194. I hit a high beautiful shot and was going right at the pin. It hits the base of the pin/hole and jumps up 10' in the air and lands 7' to the left. I hit the edge of the hole, and the ball either went in, or just rebounded off the lifter thingie. I'll never know if that device wasn't attached to the pin what would have happened. I realize it probably would have bounced out, but maybe not. Who knows... All I know is if the cups were raised, I would have smashed the cup.
This is now in my book, just like my 179 hole in one on my simulator this winter. Doesn't count. So still looking for my first one.
